“Singing was the first thing that I really loved doing. This totally wasn’t on my radar when I started singing in church as a little kid, but looking back, it was a window into a new kind of expression for me. Singing in front of people allowed me to tap into a level of confidence that still serves me to this day. Plus, my sister was the original singer in our family (and still is) so I think what I loved most was that it allowed me to share something that she really loves and be a little bit more like her.

“Today, I cringe at the thought of singing in public, but loving music and immersing myself in that love really brought me out of my shell. And I must say, my solo shower concerts are top-tier.”

“So many things I’ve fallen in love with but nothing has come close to the love that I have received in becoming a mother. My daughter Soul has shown me just how much my heart has room to expand to love another human unconditionally.

"I always had a fear of motherhood, that I would fail at it. When I gave birth to my daughter my whole perspective on what love truly means changed for me. What I love most about becoming a mother is that I’m finally truly undressed; she will see every part of me, the good and the bad, and it doesn’t scare me in any way. Instead, it empowers me because I know she’ll only be a better version of who I am in this world. Motherhood is strength, vulnerability and unconditional, unbreakable love!”

“My first love was definitely the art of dress-up. From a young age, wearing costumes, putting on fashion shows and dressing up my dolls (Bratz were my favourite!), were some of my favourite ways to spend my free time.

"What I loved about dressing up was that no matter the insecurities I may have felt, I could find a way to make myself feel better in my skin. Growing up, I was never told what to wear or criticized for my fashion or makeup choices by my family. I was truly allowed to express myself. This freedom sometimes resulted in questionable outfits, too much eyeliner, cutting (way too short) my own bangs and jean shorts. Regardless, I am so grateful that I was given this opportunity to figure out what I liked. Every now and then, I still put on some music, go through my closet and try on my fun pieces, which instantly lifts my mood and makes me feel like a kid again.”

“I think my first love was probably a mini DV video camera. I was 11 at the time and I wanted one so bad, but it was kind of a big purchase for a kid that age, so my parents got one as a shared family gift for Christmas. I always had that thing. I just took it over. I brought it everywhere with me.

“[What I loved about it] was the accessibility of documenting everything. ‘Everything’ to me at that time was skating with my friends in the small town where I grew up. Back then, before smartphones, that was the only way to get clips. I probably didn’t need to film most of the stuff we were doing but it just felt right. I love having all the footage to look back on.”

“My first love was our first family dog Staffin, a black flat-coated retriever, named after a remote coastal town in Scotland. He was a very regal and gentle dog, however, his charm was an attempt to mask his naughty and frankly outrageous behavior, from stealing entire family meals from the table to blatantly ignoring your calls, unless it involved food. Fittingly for Valentine’s, his kennel name was Heartthrob."

“My first love will always be the warm and flourishing mother nature of California and spending what felt like endless days exploring the hills of Los Angeles.

“I grew up with a trail at the end of our driveway that led to an endless field of yellow wildflowers. I always felt safe exploring in nature. My family encouraged imagination and storytelling. Time spent in nature was filled with stories of secret gardens and magic. My mother and grandmother have a special sense for plants and flowers. As they would guide me through the gardens naming each plant and flower, we would carefully gather our findings for bouquets and herb blends.

“My immediate family have all moved to NY, however to this day when I visit LA, my first stop are these hills. I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and suddenly I am transported back to exploring and letting myself soar through the hills and dance in the wildflowers. Visiting these hills is my homecoming.”

“My first love derived from the love of shapes. It could be anything—a sculpture, a building, a pastry. It's the human touch of it I loved, the thought that it was once a simple idea that spoke to a mind, and can be presented as another one's dream and simple pleasure. I remember the feeling of seeing a Louise Bourgeois and Barbara Hepworth sculpture, it took my breath away—like as if I felt pain—in some ways a heightened level of love. Reminds me this life is for dreams.”

“When Kotn asked me to write about my first love I immediately thought of my high school sweetheart! But on deeper reflection, I realized she was not my first. My first love was without a doubt my young and sensitive mother, her maternal bond to me and the sharing of all things beautiful between us! When I was little we spent many afternoons together watching Huckleberry Hound and the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons. It wasn't the ‘entertainment’ I remember so much as the warm snuggles, holding hands and the mutual laughter we shared as we sat (just the two of us) together in the cozy basement of our little house on the cul de sac.

“As we all do, I ultimately adjusted to sharing her with my four other siblings, and when I finally lost her completely at age 95 last year on the very night of my grandson's birth, in the same hospital and at the same moment, I came face to face with heartbreak and loss that can never be quantified.

“Eventually, the warmth of that early love would draw me back to the same neighbourhood to raise our own family. And now, when I see the total and timeless bond between my little girl and her sweet boy, Emmett, I feel close yet again to my first valentine and my first love: my sweet kind and irreplaceable Mum and the lifetime of love and world of beauty we quietly shared.”
